Eb Ab      Bb
I  know by now
     Gm     Bb             Cm
That no-one cheers up when told to
          Eb       Bb
That it's more the arms
     Cm
That hold you
         Ab             Bb
Than whatever words are said


Eb Ab       Bb
Of course I know
        Gm          Bb     Cm
But you can't blame me for trying
        Eb     Bb       Cm
I could hardly hear you crying
        Ab          Bb
For the traffic overhead


Fm         Eb     Ab
There will come a time
     Fm         Eb     Ab
When there will come a train
                     Eb
To take us somewhere else


Eb  Ab      Bb
You figured out
    Gm      Bb      Cm
You needn't break a promise
    Eb    Bb    Cm
For it to be dishonest
    Ab          Bb
For you to be undone


Eb  Ab        Bb
But spare yourself
    Gm     Bb   Cm
The self-recriminations
    Eb     Bb       Cm
And summon all your patience
        Ab           Bb
For the summer still to come


       Fm         Eb     Ab
'Cause there will come a time
     Fm         Eb     Ab
When there will come a train
                     Eb
To take us somewhere else
     Bb                   Gm
Far away from the factory shells
                  Cm
And the shades of grey
                  Eb
From the pools of piss
               Bb
And the broken glass
     Gm            Cm
Underneath the overpass
                   Eb
From the rush-hour roar
                Bb
And the nagging rain
                  Gm
There will come a time
                  Cm
There will come a train
                  Eb
There will come a time
                  Bb
There will come a train
                  Gm
There will come a time
                  Eb
There will come a train....
